Rare Earths
Critical elements supplied for advanced manufacturing use
Globe Metal supplies rare earth elements in metal and oxide forms for manufacturers who need reliable, documented access to materials that are increasingly difficult to source. These elements are used in permanent magnets, thermal barrier coatings, specialty alloys, energy technology, and medical applications — and their supply chains require more active management than most industrial materials.
This section provides an overview of the rare earth elements we supply. Each element links to a dedicated page with forms supplied and typical applications.
ELEMENTS SUPPLIED
Yttrium
Used in thermal barrier coatings and high-temperature alloy applications.
